This vegan creamy roasted tomato soup is perfect on chilly days. Packed with sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil.
It really only take a few ingredients to make this tomato soup. The key is using good quality cherry tomatoes and roasting them to bring out their sweetness.
The tomatoes also get roasted along with garlic. Because tomatoes and garlic belong together! They also add a lot of extra flavour and sweetness when roasted.
Although you don’t have to use cherry tomatoes, I think they have the best flavour. Some of my favourite (British) varieties are – Vittoria, Pomodorino, Piccolini. You can also use beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes.
With tomato being the star of this recipe, it really pays off to get high quality tomatoes, especially local and seasonal varieties. Yes, they are more expensive, but they are totally worth it.
What you’ll need for roasted tomato soup:
- Cherry tomatoes
- Garlic
- Vegetable stock
- Fresh basil
- Vegan cream
- Black pepper
That really is all you need! For the cream, I use a vegan double cream alternative (Elmea or Oatly). You can sub for a cashew cream if you’d rather.
How to make creamy roasted tomato soup:
Start by roasting the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes on a large baking tray with the garlic cloves, a good glug of olive oil and salt and pepper.
Pop in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are bursting and blistered. Place in a pot along with the vegetable stock on a low heat.
Add fresh basil and a good amount of crushed black pepper. Use a hand blender and blitz until smooth. I like small chunks of tomato, but blend to your preference.
Stir in vegan cream and once warmed through serve with some crusty bread and butter!
Will keep in the fridge for a few days or it freezes well!

- Large handful / 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
- 250ml / 1 cup vegetable stock
- 125ml / 1/2 cup vegan cream
- Black pepper
To serve
- Bread and butter of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F.

- Top with an extra drizzle of cream and fresh basil and serve!
Notes
Use good quality tomatoes.
I use Elmea Plant double cream or Oatly cream. You can also sub for cashew cream (blend 1/4 cup raw cashews with 1/4 cup of water in a high speed blender until smooth).
